Em
I've watched the children come and go

A2                  Em
A late long march into spring

  A2                      Em
I sit and watch those children

                 A2
Jump in the tall grass

Em
Leap the sprinkler

A2
Walk in the ground

    Em             A2
Bicycle clothespin spokes

              Em                A2
The sound the smell of swingset hands

       D                        (Riff)
I will try to sing a happy song

             D                    (Riff)
I'll try and make a happy game to play

Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend Tell me what it's like to go outside I've never been Tell me what it's like to just go outside I've never been And I never will I'm not supposed to be like this I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay Hey those kids are looking at me I told my friend myself Those kids are looking at me They're laughing and they're running over here They're laughing and they're running over here What do I do? What can I do? What should I do? What do I say? What can I say? I said I'm no supposed to be like this Let's try to find a happy game to play Let's try to find a happy game to play I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay...okay
